Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

Kikumaru is actually a player with great potential.

It is not the first time he has played singles.

In fact, Oishi started urging Kikumaru to practice singles after he realized that his wrist wasn't fully healed.

In the national competition a year ago, Kikumaru also tried to partner with others, and also played singles.

Of course, in comparison, Nioh is the one who "actively chooses singles", while Kikumaru is the one who "passively chooses singles".

If you were to ask Kikumaru, which would you prefer to play doubles with Oishi or singles with yourself?

He will definitely answer, with Dashik of course.

This does not mean that he has no ambition and pursuit of singles, but that he has so much persistence and persistence in his affection for Dashi.

Nioh got acquainted with Dashi when he was in Houshan last year.

Dashi is a man with no temper.

The "no temper" here does not mean that he will not lose his temper.In fact, Dashi has his own principles and style of doing things, but he will not choose to use very oppressive or very guiding methods.Even in the choice of some things, he will make himself suffer a little for the "benefit of others" or "the benefit of everyone".

Nioh used to be a willful character, he likes to pursue excitement, and in the eyes of others, he is a bit "pretentious".

Perhaps out of habit, Dashi would chatter on the sidelines.

Often at this time, Sanada would snort aside, fold his arms and whisper: "Too lax! Oishi, leave him alone."

Dashi: "How can we ignore it? What if something happens? What if you get injured?"

At this time, Liu would gently shake his head and say, "Dashi, King Ni knows it well."

Of course Nioh knew it well.

He has been with everyone in Lihai University for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of process of "I look for excitement by myself, and I bear the consequences myself". I was still a little impatient, and gradually felt that this kindness was a little embarrassing.

Kuwahara also takes care of people's temperament, but Kuwahara basically only takes the initiative to Marui.He will provide help within his ability after Kirihara and Nioh are in trouble, but he will not raise "worries" before things happen.

This makes Dashi's character too... how to describe it?Helpful?

Not just for him, but for people from other schools who don't even know him very well.

King Ni watched Dashi busy all day, worrying about here for a while, and caring a little more there.

"You care about yourself too."

After saying something like this, their relationship became warmer.

Originally, the doubles match in the final of the Kanto Tournament made the relationship between the two pairs of partners always tinge with a bit of hostility.

On the field, Oishi calmly covered Kikumaru, and when he controlled the rhythm of the game, he couldn't see that Oishi had such a character that could be described as "mother-in-law".

Living in a place like Houshan, there are no entertainment activities at night, and I go to bed very early after dark, and I will be called up to practice at dawn at three or four in the middle of the night, and my biological clock becomes a little strange.

At first, everyone was not used to it. Even if they were tired during the day, they couldn't fall asleep, so they all nestled in sleeping bags and chatted.

Sleeping bags are placed next to each other, and people who are familiar with each other, or people who feel that their sleeping habits are quite good sleep together.

Those who are afraid of the dark and ghosts sleep a little outside, and those who are not afraid of anything sleep in the innermost place.

The cave is neither too big nor too small, barely able to accommodate more than [-] sleeping bags and more than [-] people.There is an echo when speaking.

Chatting at night is transmitted from the door to the inside, and then out from the inside.

In such an environment, people from different schools gradually abandoned their prejudices and began to communicate in a friendly way—except for chatting, there was no other entertainment in the evening.

Nioh and Oishi said, I heard that you and Kikumaru can perform co-tuning?

Dashi laughed and said yes.

"If we were to fight you and Yagyu again, Eiji and I would not lose!" Oishi said.

Nioh snorted noncommittally: "Speaking of which, I can phantom into Kikumaru. Can you and the phantom me be at the same level?"

"...Eh?" Dashi opened his eyes wide.

It's not the first time I've thought about this.

In fact, Nioh has been thinking about how his phantom can play a role in the game.

If it is only used to choose the moves of various players in singles, then there will be some psychological blows at most, and the technique may not be as subtle as the state of no self.

Nioh can't allow his tricks to be described as "crude" by others.

What about doubles?

If the doubles... Phantom becomes someone else?

The original inspiration was actually an exchange of identities with Yagyu.

Although it was just for fun, there was also an element of wanting to see Liu Sheng's reaction and provoking Liu Sheng.But after trying it, both of them had a great time playing, and found a tacit understanding of seeking common ground while reserving differences.

Playing like someone else, covering up your own unique label.

He phantom Tezuka, also successfully angered Fuji.

So what about Phantom Cheng Kikumaru?

Can dashi be in harmony with chrysanthemum pill, and can it also be in harmony with "kikumaru"?

Nioh didn't know.

He simply proposed this proposal, even with a direct questioning attitude.

Dashi, who was stunned by this question, tossed and turned for nearly half an hour before responding in a hesitant tone: "...Would you like to try it, King Ni?"

Of course, special training was also done in the interval of practice.

After all, Nioh's research and control of mental power at that time was not as strong as it is now.

Even he can't confirm whether his proposal is whimsical or just pure delusion.

Only a "good old man" like Dashi can easily agree to do this kind of thing without reason or request.This can even be regarded as helping him develop moves. After all, if it is really possible to synchronize, it will still be Kikumaru who can synchronize with Oishi, and Nioh has acquired a skill that can easily control doubles matches.

In the end, it actually had the desired effect.

"But Dashi, I didn't expect that your control and desire to control are quite strong."

After coming out of the attuned state, Nioh reviewed the fluctuation of his mental power, and after basically mastering the technique of attuning with Oishi, he joked in a somewhat casual tone: "I thought Kikumaru could do anything by your side. "

"He can do anything." Dashi frowned slightly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

This is probably the rare moment for Dashi to show his aggressiveness in so many days.

Nioh whistled: "Partners are deeply affectionate."

Dashi sighed: "Then what about you and Yagyu-kun? Did you quarrel?"

Niwang was a little dazed, but couldn't refute.He clicked his tongue, pressed a strange accent from between his lips and teeth, and remained silent for a while before saying: "It's not a quarrel, our relationship is not that good. It's just normal."

"Don't quarrel, Mr. Nioh." Dashi returned to his usual form, chattering habitually.

At that moment, King Ni really thought of Liu Sheng in the back mountain.

Then he thought, if Liu Sheng, who is a bit of a clean freak, came to the back mountain, he would have to jump into the stream to take a bath, blowing some cold wind and feeling like he would catch a cold every day, it must be very tormenting.

Now, Oishi no longer plays tennis.

Nioh doesn't know if Oishi's injury is really to the point where he can't play tennis.This is not the case, but Dashi has his own life plan, so he turned around and left the arena so neatly with everyone surprised.

And Yagyu will soon do the same.

There are so many partners who can form doubles in the world, and it seems that two people can become a partner, and it seems that there is no special fate required.

But people will always remember the first one, and the one with the most investment.

If the object of the two attributives is the same person, it is destined to become the most special partner.

King Ni knew that Liu Sheng was such an existence to him.

The same is true of dashi to chrysanthemum pills.

"I will not show mercy to you in front of Dashi." Nioh said before the game started.

Kikumaru's already round eyes widened even further: "What are you talking about! I don't need your mercy!"

Nioh narrowed his eyes, and mobilized his spiritual power with a strange malice and teasing attitude.

phantom.

Someone who is almost exactly the same as Dashi on the sidelines appeared on the field.

Kikumaru was stunned for a second, the anger on his face spread from his neck to his forehead, almost his whole face turned red: "Masaharu Nioh! You bastard!"

"Eiji." Dashi's voice on the sidelines and in the arena were exactly the same.

And the more this happened, the more angry Kikumaru became.

How could it be... You bastard, how could you use big stones to deal with me!

This is not the first time Kikumaru has played singles with Oishi.

They often play singles practice matches.

In the Kanto training camp a year ago, it was precisely because of his positive attitude towards singles between partners that Kikumaru was favored by coach Sakaki and included in the list of selection teams.

But that's different.

That's real dashi, not...!

Kikumaru knew that he had to calm down, but the more he realized that the person facing him was not the real Oishi, the more difficult it was for him to calm down.

He now understands why Bu Er was so angry during the National Competition last year.

People like King Ni are usually bad enough, but if you use Phantom, the badness will be doubled.

No, not just double, but ten times, a hundred times!

How could such a person exist? !

Kikumaru remembered the comeback of the loser group last year. After he knew that Oishi was partnering with Nioh, he asked Oishi sadly, and got the answer "Niou is not bad, everyone has prejudice against him".

What prejudice, this is a bad person!

Kikumaru gritted his teeth and ran quickly.

His emotions mobilized his whole body, his adrenaline rose, and the pace of the game involuntarily accelerated.Two or even three identical figures appeared in the half court, which were his body.

On the other side of the court, while Nioh was phantom Oishi, he was also thinking about the feeling of practicing Kikumaru phantom in Houshan and being in tune with Oishi.

He took the initiative to adjust his mental strength to match the extremely excited Kikumaru.

The traces of mental power should be a little lighter, don't be noticed so early.

Stuck at the critical point where there is no real synchronization, use your mental strength to test it, and then retreat to a safe position like the tide is ebbing.

Before practicing his own different dimension, Nioh could not do such a micromanagement of mental power.

But at this moment he understood that the feeling of being in control of someone else's world is so wonderful.

Every move of Kikumaru, every thought is transparent to him.

"Eiji!" Oishi outside the court shouted anxiously.

But at this time, Kikumaru has already been partially blocked by Nio's mental power.

Nioh did it in a very subtle way, and with half of the same tune, he kept using his phantom big stone to attract Kikumaru's attention.

It's like catnip.

When cats see catnip and fur balls, they will pounce on them, pupina~

The author has something to say:

The training camp will start next month. Classes will be held from 20:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. The specific time has not yet been determined, and it will last for [-] days.I don't know the specific situation at that time, so I don't know how to arrange the update at that time...

And I once thought that Oishi was a purely gentle character, and then thought that there was something underneath...

Ps: Actually, I really like Oishi's voice actor, Lianfeng is really nice.
